Mr Elliott, 54, added: "There are a lot of young families on our street and our concern is for everyone on the street. It is not our responsibility – someone has dumped it. It is the safety of our neighbours and people walking by that we are worried about.

David Banks, executive manager for neighbourhoods at Rushcliffe Borough Council, told the Post: "The council’s Streetwise service has been contacted by Ms Elliott. They have offered to visit and provide a quote for the removal of the asbestos.

"The asbestos cannot be picked up free of charge by Streetwise as it is on private property not the public highway."

The couple have not yet had a quote for how much it will cost to remove the material.
